What gives the best results in the recurve limb 60"
Elm - Maple -Bamboo ???
I like to leave it up to the bowyer to match to his limb design.
I have had lots certainly including the ones posted here. I do what katman above says. Bowyer's Choice.
All my favorites just happen to have Bamboo......
Best results for what characteristic? Speed, smoothness, stability, noise..... or overall suitability?
I know Norm Johnson used bamboo in my Blacktails, they are standard in all of his bows. I will be taking delivery of a Silvertip in a couple of weeks and didn't even ask Dave what he uses for limb veneers. I'm not sure I'd be able to tell the difference between them anyway.
Boo will give you at least 20+ fps faster than all the rest!
Doesn't make a hill of beans unless you want to split hairs.
I like maple and boo. You have to make your own actionwood with the maple or have extremely good clear vertical grain eastern rock maple. I prefer the good clear vertical grain maple over all other core woods except for the white color on the edges of the limbs. As too performance , with my limb design the limbs chronograph the same with the maple of the actionboo. I recommend both and do not charge extra for either.
God bless, Steve
